<\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced that the 2025 UTME Mop-Up Examination<\/strong> will be held on Saturday, 28th June 2025<\/strong>. All candidates who are eligible to sit for this special exam must print their examination notification slips starting from Monday, 23rd June 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This exam is very important. It gives a second chance to candidates who were unable to write the main UTME or its resit due to different reasons like technical issues, absence, or biometric problems. Let\u2019s explain everything in a simple way so that everyone understands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mop-up examination is not for everyone. It is only for special candidates who meet any of the following conditions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In total, 96,838 candidates<\/strong> across 183 centres in Nigeria<\/strong> have been chosen for this mop-up exam. Some other candidates are on standby, waiting in case more space becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JAMB has also said that many CBT centres (Computer-Based Test centres) are being punished because they did bad things during the exam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of these centres:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a result, 113 CBT centres<\/strong> have been delisted (removed)<\/strong> or suspended<\/strong>. This means they are not allowed to host any future JAMB exams. Some of the centres are also being investigated by the police<\/strong>, and those found guilty will be taken to court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Candidates who were earlier scheduled to write in those centres will be moved to new examination towns nearby<\/strong>, and JAMB asks for their understanding and patience<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JAMB has shown appreciation to the Nigerian security forces. These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These brave officers have worked hard to catch fraudsters<\/strong> who tried to cheat the system. They have arrested many people, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The government is not joking. Everyone involved in cheating will face punishment<\/strong>. Some may go to jail. Even if they are under-aged or their parents helped them, the law will still punish them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JAMB has warned that this mop-up exam is being closely watched<\/strong> to catch more professional exam writers. These are people, often university students, who pretend to be someone else to write the UTME for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Special invigilators and security officers have been trained and placed in different centres to stop this crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If any student is caught doing this, JAMB will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even students who are under 18 or whose parents helped them will face the law. No one is above the rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to the investigations, some examination towns are now banned. Candidates who were earlier posted to these towns for the mop-up will be moved to nearby towns<\/strong> for their exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This may cause small travel problems, but JAMB is asking those affected to be patient. It is part of the effort to make sure the exam is fair for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are important tips for every candidate taking the mop-up UTME:<\/p>\n\n\n\n From Monday, 23rd June 2025<\/strong>, visit the JAMB website or the closest internet caf\u00e9 to print your exam notification slip. The slip will show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t print this slip, you may miss your exam or go to the wrong place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first session of the exam begins at 8:00 AM sharp<\/strong>. You must get to your centre at least one hour early<\/strong>. It\u2019s better to wait than to be late.<\/p>\n\n\n\n JAMB advises candidates to arrive by 6:30 AM or 7:00 AM<\/strong>. This gives you enough time for:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do not:<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you break the rules, you may be sent out or arrested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This year\u2019s UTME has seen more effort than ever<\/strong> from JAMB to stop cheating. According to the Hon. Minister of Education, Dr. Maruf Tunji Alausa, CON<\/strong>, the fight against examination malpractice will continue until every part of the country is clean<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr. Alausa declared a \u201cWar on Exam Cheats\u201d<\/strong>, and JAMB is fully supporting him. The Board is working day and night to make sure that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is the only way Nigeria can produce students who are smart, disciplined, and prepared for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dear candidates, this is your last chance<\/strong> for 2025. If you are among those selected, please take it seriously. Do your best and avoid any act that can bring shame or punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To parents and guardians, please do not help your child to cheat<\/strong>. It may seem helpful now, but it can destroy your child\u2019s future. Support them with prayer, encouragement, and good advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s work together to make our education system better and stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This mop-up exam is a great opportunity to prove yourself and move forward with your academic journey. JAMB is giving you this chance to succeed, but only if you play by the rules<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s all be responsible. Let\u2019s make Nigeria proud. Best of luck to every candidate!<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has officially announced that the 2025 UTME Mop-Up Examination will be held on Saturday, 28th June 2025.
